Words of Jesus
And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do questionings rise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have." And while they still disbelieved for joy, and wondered, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?" They gave him a piece of broiled fish, and he took it and ate before them. Then he said to them, "These are my words which I spoke to you, while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled." Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.
Luke 24:38-48
A Christian has a union with Jesus Christ nobler, more intimate and more perfect than the members of a human body have with their head.
— St. John Eudes
Abba, Father, Lord God, as most everyday again I wake and pray, 'our Father who art in heaven, hollowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil'. Then I begin doing things and being under the sun, most every day I stop offer these prayers to You and read the Bible Readings for today's Mass. But there are day's like yesterday that I do not; whether because I am not able to or just do not, thinking or rationalizing that I do not want to be rushed with You. And then as most days like today I have and take the time. Now there are days in both scenarios that immediately as I resume doing and being I start to disconnect from You, but rarely on those days like yesterday that I feel I stay in Your presence and connected. On these days I see You in everything and Your name even comes up as I do and be. So I say, why? How do I surround myself or place myself with and in, people and circumstances seek what I seek; to be in Your presence all day, every day? So now I ask You Lord God, Abba, Father, help me. Help me find the way to be with You and prosper under the sun. In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit I ask and pray for You to hear me, place me and that Thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. Give me this day our daily bread and forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who have trespassed against me. Lead me not into temptation, but deliver me from evil', Amen.
